Zhong Fa, this name will be unfamiliar to many people, but he and Lin Zhengying are the same brothers of the same disciple, and they are also under the door of Shi Chengfan Chrysanthemum, but he entered the entertainment circle later than Lin Zhengying. In 1969, at the age of 17, Lin Zhengying had already entered the film industry as a dragon and tiger martial artist, and was fortunate to become the right and left hand of the popular kung fu superstar Bruce Lee.
Zhong Fa, who was a year younger than Lin Zhengying, did not have the opportunity to enter the film entertainment industry at this time, until 1973, Bruce Lee's film "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" began filming, which needed some actors who knew martial arts foundations. Lin Zhengying recommended his brother Zhong Fa to come in, and thus began his film career.
I thought that I would do a big job with Master Lin Zhengying in Bruce Lee's team, but I didn't expect bruce Lee to die of an accident that year. Therefore, he entered Hong Jinbao's Hong family class with Lin Zhengying and began to play some supporting roles.
Because of his appearance, most of the characters played at the beginning were negative characters, although he was not from a formal study class, but his acting skills were also quite good. In 1980, Hong Jinbao filmed "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", creating another style of ghost film form, Zhong Fa, Lin Zhengying, Wu Ma and other people all starred in this film, but Hong Jinbao, as the absolute protagonist, always occupied the main node in the film.
However, Zhong Fa's first appearance as a Taoist priest made a reference for his later role in this type of role, and since then he has been a Taoist priest in many films, and fans have also called him a "Taoist professional household".
In 1985, the film "Mr. Zombie", co-starred by Lin Zhengying and Qian Xiaohao, Xu Guanying and others, created an era of zombie films, and since then there have been no less than 100 works that have followed the trend, but there is no bell in this film, and perhaps there is really no suitable role for him at that time.
After "Mr. Zombie" became popular, Chen Huiyi, who was also a Hongjia class, invited Zhong Fa, Qian Xiaohao, Qian Yuesheng, Wu Ma, Lü Fang, Wang Xiaofeng and others to shoot a "Zombie Rebirth", according to the production level at that time, it could only be a medium level, but the degree of funny was not less than that of "Mr. Zombie".
In particular, the scene where Qian Xiaohao and the female corpse do the same action with each other should be borrowed from the bridge section next to Hong Jinbao's sleeping corpse in "Ghost Fighting Ghost" that year, but this time the film makes full use of and plays to the extreme.
It is worth noting that Zhong Fa, who plays the Taoist Qian Zhenren, performed very well in this film, and the role is very large, if he is a big protagonist, it is not too much.
"Zombie Rebirth" can also be regarded as a relatively important one in Zhong Fa's film works, and it is a more brilliant follow-up work after the popularity of "Mr. Zombie".
Although he and Lin Zhengying are brothers in the same disciple and are also in the Hongjia class, their performance styles are somewhat similar, and perhaps the film company has also seen it, so they appear less in a film at the same time. Lin Zhengying almost always starred in ghost movies, and he almost starred in supporting roles, which can be said to be different lives.
However, it is worth affirming that although Zhong Fa has not been popular, the roles he has played have made movie fans unforgettable, and it is no wonder that he has become a "Taoist professional" in the hearts of movie fans.
Today, Zhong Fa, who is already 67 years old, has long faded out of the film world, and only made cameo appearances with old friends Wu Yaohan, Chen You, Lou Nanguang and others in 2013 to pay tribute to the movie "Zombie". Presumably, he has not had too much nostalgia for the film world, and it is good to enjoy his old age.
Life is like this, not every role is the protagonist, but trying to act well is the greatest effort for life, because everyone is the protagonist of life, just do your own.
